streaming in a pub

[charlie571]

If you get caught streaming in a pub, do you get a warning or is it straight to court?

 

[moshibeth]

never known anyone even get a warning but for you straight to JAIL.

 

[charlie571]

I have thought about but don't think its worth the risk

If you get caught just keep your arse tight to wall in hmp

Pubs get checked as far as I know and you would probably get a big fine or worse.

IF caught illegal streaming in a commercial setting you will get your bits squeezed until something pops... is that a risk you want to run? Most will rightly say not but there is always one willing to push their luck & ends up being made an example off when caught.

Pubs are crazy streaming.
A pub not to far from me got took to court, £2500 fine and court fees.
If theres no pint symbol at bottom right and its broadcasting in public licenced bar they liable for fine.

I think they visit pubs and clubs unannounced just like they do at restaurants and takeaways for illegal workers.

My pub was forced into £3k Sky subscription when they were caught. It was either that or go to court. Think they opted for the lesser of two evils!

not on a phone but on tv, a pub near me had a call to say they saw it through the window, they don't enter because they don't want confrontation in public, he think its first time
so hes hoping they just tell him to re subscribe, think I,ll stay clear of streaming

The amount Sly charges a pub for its services is based on it's estimated income. So, a small rural pub would pay much much less than a big city sports bar. But you'd be crazy showing IPTV in a PUBLIC house. Like someone said, to avoid going to court, Sly would probably you demand that you enter a legitimate contract to avoid prosecution.

Works out on the amount of people can get in the pub at one time

They will get a first time warning as they want them to take out a sky package

I could be wrong mate.
But does sly not base the price on the “rates” of the property?

I think in UK mainland its council rates???

Nope its done by how many viewers can be watching so say one pub can hold 100 and one 150 the 150 would pay more regardless of the value of the property.

If sky charge £80 for a family package in wales it would be the same in london fact

I found this buried in their info:
